I can live with advertising when it’s done this way: taking the p*ss on advertising itself. Very effective. I now might buy something I utterly don’t need because of it. Thanks… 🤣
I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” part showing cutting out the hull for the front door. You all really went the extra mile for your great April fool joke this time!
As I am getting older and watching this masterpiece called Tally Ho come to live I notice a just smile all the time seeing these young guys performing a true craft!!
Well past my youth. Watching these videos brings home the realization of how easy it was to assume that having strength, agility and energy was the default position. Does it make me envious? Yes.
Couldn't agree more. It always amazes me when I hear people complain that the skills have been lost to the younger generation, then I watch these vids and realise the ladies and gents building Tally ho have the skill in buckets. Its truly humbling to watch how good they are!
Leo is exceptionally modest in saying he's a 'boatbuilder and sailor' In fact he's a superb journeyman boatwright (craftsman) who's superior knowledge of boat building and the various systems that make up a boat are very special indeed. His hard work, organizational skills, and attention to details aren't seen very often these days. He's always thinking ahead which for me is a sign of a very smart person who appreciates the process (journey) as much as he appreciates the finished product. Very much enjoy watching him and his crew on their Tally Ho 'jouney'. As a sailor he's always trying to anticipate how the boat will respond to a massive number of unpredictable variables when sailing. If anyone is capable of sailing in rough seas he certainly has the skills required!
Two things came to my mind watching this video,one: that any music from John Deley and the 41 Players is a perfect match for all things Tally Ho and two: that Leo's carpentry skills are masterful.
I really know nothing about boats and, to boot, a poor swimmer. I watch these videos mostly for the craftsmanship. I've always been impressed by great carpentry. This RUclips has that in spades². The affable charisma of Leo and the crew is an added plus. That boat is really a piece of classic art, with a modern twist. Instead of being displayed within a wooden frame or a display case, it will be displayed in front of the horizon.
It's great watching any of the team working. It's a bit of a treat to have one that features Leo, kinda nostalgic, harkening back to the many episodes of Leo working solo early on. Thanks all. The B B Sea productions are always good for a laugh. Take care.
I have been watching this video series for quite some time now and I’ve seen several, (most), of the videos more than once. This is by far my favorite RUclips channel. Leo started out to do one good thing, and everything after that has just been remarkable. From the quality of the shipwright/apprentice staff he has assembled over the years now, to the quality of humor in his commercials and April fools pranks, to the quality of the editing in the videos and the music accompanying the videos, (I am now a huge fan of wayward Jane, thank you very much), to the quality of his humility in actually including his minor flubs and mistakes in the videos when he certainly didn’t have to, it is very difficult not to watch these videos and nearly painful to wait two weeks for the next one. So many good things came out of one good thing. If you want to learn something, watch these videos. If you want to be entertained, watch these videos. If you just want to feel good, watch these videos. A massive, massive thank you, Leo, for all of the thought and care you put into everything you do.
Im Not Sure Why Subject Myself to this Channel... Every couple weeks or so.... I used to think... I was a "Woodworker".... a "Perfectionist"... Simply.... Competent in a Wood Working Environment!!!! Im NOT even in The Ballpark of what these Young People are Doing!!!! Tough Pill to Swallow at 65.... and I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO...

Excellent class today! The complexity of stairs of any style are grossly underrated even when you make it look like anyone could do it! if I tried this, I'd have to start with 50% more board to compensate for my mistakes, that's what make my projects cost more - 😁 But I'm paying more attention to detail by asking myself "How would Leo attack this?" and I've been doing that a couple years now. Have to say, it works and that brings more confidence.
Agreed and have drawn similar inspiration from various episodes as my refit proceeds. The preparation and attention to detail instead of picking up the saw,drill,grinder et al.
@@Anmeteor9663 Exactly. Leo is a problem solver and detailed approach planner. For example - the concave corner bevels matching the side rails. Genius. We only saw the easy part - not the building of the jig sled. That's something you don't know about until you know about it. But that shaper, scary ass tool. It's the one that spooks me more than anything with a blade. He scared me (I actually cringed) when he pulled that spacer board with it still running. I saw a piece of molding go through the metal siding of a shop I worked in long ago. Left an impression.
In such a fine and elegant boat, it would only make sense to have such a beautifully paneled door in use up front to access the chain locker. As for the Surf Shark commercial, I'm dying here. Laughing until I'm tearing up. Awesome cast for sure.
When watching the craftsmanship going into this build, and the beautiful end results, I can't help thinking about the guys who built the original Tally Ho, who did it all without the use of power tools!
I fast forward every content creator ad...except yours. I don't have need of a VPN but I'll gladly sit through these skits to hear Patty's tortured English accent.
Lol about the front door!! Good show passe Partout !!! Your primetime publicities are the best!! Lady Patrick!!! Uh Lala!!!!😅 The stairs divided in two!!? Of course! You need to displace it to have access to a compartment!! In my father's yacht it was smaller but to have access to the engine we needed to take it off all the stairs. Yours, is a chef d' oeuvre!! Thanks to you all again!!!😘
I have a boat in the yard that I’ve been doing a complete refit on. Keep hoping to run into you. But , you keep the building shut up tight. Can’t blame you. People will talk your ear off. I knew Tally Ho and the previous owner well. She was a train wreck and it’s great to see her coming back to life. Have done the same with 3 sailboats.
I'm always reminded during these woodworking projects of the saying from somebody's novel, "His mind had already gone to this place several times before his hand touched anything" I assume before bludgeoning into teak you've been over and over the design from several angles. Nice work, at any rate.
I love the fact that you have assembled a team of true craftsmen, some of whom (like Paddy) didn't even know what they were capable of. Well done on teaching the young colonial how to pronounce Aluminium properly 😂😂😂😂 (Paddy you are a proper star sir) I know that the videos will continue after the splash but I will definitely miss the madness and willingness of the lads to have fun and take the piss while still turning out amazing work.
love the april fools episodes. each one i watch without realizing it was april fools and slowly came to realize what was going on - the best way to experience them!
I love the humor everyone working on Tally Ho has, and how all employees / volunteers are so skilled and reliable to the project. I believe the door is going on the head or the captain's room. The best to all, but send out more videos more often.
well done Leo, teaching them Westerners how to speak one's own English proper, Alu mini nini uminum innit oh and the joinery is rather stunning too - really makes you appreciate that behind every little detail, there was much head scratching, someone had to think things through, do some maths, set up jigs and use tools to the absolute best of abilities, i reckon you cracked it, i would have liked to have seen a simple inlay of bronze strips into the steps upper surface to prevent slippage, adds another quality to the build, but it will be fine, cut some lines and look like decking hehe them there tanks are super impressive - after all the nonsense of the other tanks, these really are a triumph matey
I know that horizontal steps were the standard for boats of this type, but one yacht I sailed for a few years had the step only horizontal on the middle third of the step. The outer thirds turn up about 25 degrees. This meant that when heeled over, the outer part of each step was significantly less heeled and less slippery than a standard horizontal step.
Agreed, we had a Bavaria, considered a budget yacht, but the steps were exactly as you explained. Edit, probably not the middle third … probably > half was flat.
Amazing thinking back to episode 2...preparing the first site in Sequim. Times were simpler...hacking away with the humble chain saw! It's awesome to see how far you've come so far and I cannot wait to see her launch!
I was howling with laughter when I watched the scene of you cutting in your “door” with a chain saw. Good stuff Leo! Dang, that was an awesome piece of teak you cut up for the stairs…. Worth a kings ransom.
It brings back memories of the teak staircase my dad had made for the house he built in the 60s. The man who made it was dying and the stairs were his swan song. Even as a kid I was impressed and my dad couldn’t bring himself to drill the holes for the wrought iron balustrades so the stairs were left open, quite a risk for my younger sister! I wish I had pictures of it.
I remember the old dudes whining about paying $4.99/bf for kiln dried Red Oak in the early 80s, lolol. If age didn't already kill them the price of lumber today would have. One day you may regret making fun of a Makita sponsorship ;) I love jigs and this episode was jig heaven. For being a wood boat it has a LOT of amazing aluminum welds.
Its "AluminIum" not "Aluminum". After all she is a British craft. Its true what they say about Britain and the USA, 2 nations seperated by a common language. 😊
Once again the quality of work and craftsmanship demonstrated in your videos is simply amazing to say the least. The joinery, fit and finish of every piece is well planned and executed at every stage of the build. All the things completed or being worked on during this video were done professionally and by extremely skilled craftsmanship. Well Done!
Tally Ho, Arabella, Yaba, Magic Carpet II and Finn's Ferro Rig over there are my *big five* to watch, and I've been watching 'em all since their respective get-go's...and the first three on my list are ALL scratch-builds (well, except Finns and Magic Carpet, but still!) ...respect!
It seems that the most complicated difficult and expensive parts of the process of this build are coming up now and it's humbling to see the tenacity and dedication of the builders at their craft.
So much fun watching the progress of Tally Who uh I mean Tally Ho. Those aluminum brackets look awesome and those stairs! Perfecto! Thanks for sharing.
Being a furniture woodworker myself I really admire the excellent skills of Leo and his crew. Though we ofc won't see the real blobs and outtakes, in the end the all turn out as masterpieces.
Great to see your crafsmanship being put to good use and back in front of the camera again Leo. As always showing great vission, planning, skill and patience.👍🍻
I would recommend a plastic washer or a piece of rubber or something between the stainless steel bolts and the aluminium brackets. It helps prevent galvanic corrosion
Such would sort out the lag bolts threaded into the boat's structure as would having the brackets anodized, but it won't help where the stainless bolts are threaded directly into the aluminum. Not being well versed in marine tech I'm not sure what the common solution is to that. Were it not a marine application then changing to plated steel bolts is a significant move forwards because the plating is much closer to aluminum in the eV table. Perhaps it is as simple as using silicon-bronze hardware in those locations?
@@utoobnoob7840 I recommend A4 stainless steel bolts in marine applications. Don't have to worry much about corrosion on the bolts. Where it's threaded in to other materials you will eliminate corrosion by using locktite, but it has to be used correctly. Going into a blind hold you apply locktite in the hole and it'll push out the threads when the bolt goes in. If it's a through hole you apply it to the threads on the bolt. I mainly work with marine applications, but in our case we coat everything as an added layer of protection
It's nice to see that Leo has just as much of the master carpentry chops as the rest of the crew. The skill level of this crew is really insane!! Great steps, Leo!
When I saw you had a sponsor I genuinely went “yes”! These are the only RUclips ads I watch, look forward to and enjoy! I hope you get many more sponsors!!
You guys went so far on the door, you got me, I was thinking, was this to access a dingy, and how the hell would they seal it, and ruin the integrity of the hull, tells you how much I know about boat building. The jigs for the steps were genius, they look like a work of art, how you guys figure out all of the different angles, is beyond me., love these videos Leo.
I am constantly in awe of the quality of the joinery. As Leo shows us, it is the result of careful planning, and making jigs so that joints are tight and repeatable.
Hi Leo, I've been watching Tally Ho being restored for years now and as always I'm so impressed at the level of craftsmanship, each and every joint being lovingly created is a sculpture in itself and like most great woodwork I would find it very hard not feeling the textures of the fine workmanship all of you have invested into this fine vessel, The camera work and all the efforts you put into the creation of these videos are a great legacy to add to the story that is Tally Ho Also over the years just how the videos have improved are a testament of your skills as well I love how the stairs are turning out and yet again another fine example of the you possess and the love and attention you are putting into her, Thank you again for sharing this build with me and I wish you trouble free completion for the remainder of the restoration. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
As an engineer and a boater, I laid awake a couple of nights wondering what the hell went south with you, Leo. Got me good! I used to lay awake at night trying to resolve design problems that were plaguing me; aerospace hardware has to be done right. You got me good... Crimony! Love you man.
That was a gorgeous teak board. It's a real priviledge to be able to work with such beatiful timber, and you're doing it proud. Thanks to all for another fantastically entertaining and interesting video.
OMG at @13:55 the mood, the camera zooming in to build suspense. I was at the edge of my seat wondering if we were going to get another grain split-out. Leo fucking killing it with the video making, this is cinematic
It must be comforting for Leo to know that if it doesn’t work out with Tally Ho, he can simply walk into pretty much any engineering position at NASA. The guy’s incredible.
I like the way Leo is fitting out the interior. He is keeping it basic and workman like. Only building what is necessary. A good example of function over form.
Amazing skills and content. AND you've cured me of jumping ahead when the Sponsors testimonials are given. Really entertaining. If you and the crew ever tire of boat building, I see a bright future in advertising. Well done all!!
That's a very cool transition between step and side rail. And, very nice to see Leo doing some carpentry too! It's all looking very nice indeed, very nice :-)
Leo. The fuel filters can be a minefield when long term use is considered. A few years ago I came across a UK firm who produce 'Fuel Guard' filters. The advantage in my situation ( I have a narrow boat) is that the filters have a full clear sight bowl, water drain off at the bottom and can be taken apart to clean the super fine filter mash. I have two, one on the engine line and one on the diesel heater line and they have proved to be a great investment. Great video. I am always amazed at the precision of all the work. Excellent.
Your team has creative ideas and acting for the various spoofs and infomercials. A side career in advertising and artwork. A brief sampling of the detailed craftmanship in Tally Ho.
The attention to the smallest of details is as always fantastic and this yacht will have all of this to show off for many years to come. I loved the ditty that Patric and Neil did ... you lot have too much fun while working, keep up the fantastic work.
I'm so relieved you've helped us feel safe and secure from these prying eyes, you guys are busting my gut. I've got a question for ya's how the hell do you manage to get any work done, while working with these boy's.? must be a challenge, that's for sure.. Did they really think! you were actually going to cut a hole in the bow of your boat? no way! ...that's hilarious.
Everything you do is excellent, this long retired Yankee boatbuilder is proud of you. Nice shop, BTW. As far as hand tools vs power tools, I apprenticed hand tools only, it was fun, but not feasible in this age. When I came out of retirement to work on the criminally damaged Columbus Fleet in Corpus Christi Texas it wasn't as a period character: no money, no direction, no fucks given by so-called management, so we used power tools as needed. Visitors would call us out for that, my retort was that "the spanish would have used them if they had them", and walk away in grump about the whole thing because they never would be repaired, rot and Carpenter Bees turned them into sawdust.
I stumbled across these videos while looking up something about woodworking earlier this year, and went back to watch it all from the beginning. What an incredible journey this has been to watch, often as I'm building my house or working on the little wooden sloop I hope to have restored in about two years. I think this series will turn out to be a great head start on my education once I'm a bit more finished with the house and can spend more time getting into boatbuilding, though it's definitely also given me some great ideas for the house too!
This series is a master class in: tireless leadership, drive and energy; passionate commitment to an ideal; and superior quality craftsmanship. It is a joy to behold Tally Ho being revitalized by the hands, hearts and minds of Leo and crew.
As a casual home woodworker that knows nothing of boats, I learn something new every episode. I come into each episode with a blank mind, "Oh wow, I wonder what THAT is?" That "front door" had me going for an embarrassingly long time :) I was literally muttering to myself, "Wtf? Luxury yachts have traditionally have doors cut into the hull?!" Well done, guys!
This is the only YT channel where I watch the sponsor ads - absolutely brilliant, hilarious and they add to the enjoyment of the video. Well done guys, keep up the good work.
Really enjoy the interaction of the guys working with you Leo. And I must mention you guys (and gal) are killing me with the Surfshark VPN videos. thanks
At last! 154 episodes and I am up to date. Started watching this '2 (+2+2) year' project just a few months ago. Resisting the temptation to skip to the end, I have followed the ups and downs of Leo's amazing journey with great admiration. His skills, resilience and determination are truly inspirational. Love the banter, the adverts and the BBSea soaps.
some of the best quality wood working and working all around I've ever seen! please put some depth sensors on this beauty so it doesn't get wrecked running aground. excellent work guys!!! former navy veteran USA
These little ad sketches are getting more hilarious with every episode!
This one was too funny. So cringey! 😂😂😂🤦
That was good - No shame in them guys LOL! Patrick has developed an affinity for those golden locks of planer shavings. Nice shaving btw 👍
I just watch the videos for the ad sketches hahaha
I'm kidding, but they are awesome
I can live with advertising when it’s done this way: taking the p*ss on advertising itself. Very effective. I now might buy something I utterly don’t need because of it. Thanks…
🤣
I'm beginning to look at Tally Ho as a floating piece of fine furniture. Such is the skill of all involved. Again...well done sir.
A boat like this is like having a fine piece of hand made furniture that you keep in the ocean.
It is, just the framing which is now mostly hidden is perfect.
Hope we see her sailing all over the planet someday.
@@TermiteUSA I've been hoping that too, if it comes to New Zealand I'll be sure to travel out of my way to see it
Beautiful yes. Practical no. Wood as fuel is not a good idea. Single head is imminent hardship. Look at all the other blue water channels.
I hope that Patrick and Neil are up for The Oscar next year. Their performances are superlative.
I would have gone with "explitive", but "superlative" will work, too.
Patrick and Nick.
Balderdash!
Was that the Duchess or the Tally "Ho" ?
Top notch! 👏 👏 👏
No one does sponsorship ads better than Leo and his crew. That staircase is beautiful!
I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” part showing cutting out the hull for the front door. You all really went the extra mile for your great April fool joke this time!
The step to riser joint is just insane even by TallyHo standards!
Blows my mind. Some of the nicest and most complex joinery I’ve seen. It’s stunning.
As I am getting older and watching this masterpiece called Tally Ho come to live I notice a just smile all the time seeing these young guys performing a true craft!!

I doubt most wooden yachts had this level of craftsmanship overall. Most of them were built in a much shorter period of time than tally ho is.

@@glyndevonport7802 Hahaha. My tongue cant say it that way, lol. I end up with like 5 uninuminums. It wont stop-...

@@mitch_the_-itch Its easy just break it down to "Alu" "mini" "um"
An amazing amount of jigs were constructed in order to make those steps. Leo shows he is the master shipwright. Nice work Leo!
Once again the quality of work and craftsmanship demonstrated in your videos is simply amazing to say the least. The joinery, fit and finish of every piece is well planned and executed at every stage of the build. All the things completed or being worked on during this video were done professionally and by extremely skilled craftsmanship. Well Done!
Tally Ho, Arabella, Yaba, Magic Carpet II and Finn's Ferro Rig over there are my *big five* to watch, and I've been watching 'em all since their respective get-go's...and the first three on my list are ALL scratch-builds (well, except Finns and Magic Carpet, but still!) ...respect!
The health of your team is evident by the quality and quantity of their humor. Pleasure to view.
It seems that the most complicated difficult and expensive parts of the process of this build are coming up now and it's humbling to see the tenacity and dedication of the builders at their craft.
So much fun watching the progress of Tally Who uh I mean Tally Ho. Those aluminum brackets look awesome and those stairs! Perfecto! Thanks for sharing.
so much woodworking skill gathered in one place, a joy to watch this boat progress. Can't wait for the update on Tallyho's spars!
Being a furniture woodworker myself I really admire the excellent skills of Leo and his crew. Though we ofc won't see the real blobs and outtakes, in the end the all turn out as masterpieces.
Great to see your crafsmanship being put to good use and back in front of the camera again Leo. As always showing great vission, planning, skill and patience.👍🍻
I would recommend a plastic washer or a piece of rubber or something between the stainless steel bolts and the aluminium brackets.
It helps prevent galvanic corrosion
I was thinking exactly the same, and I went to the comment section to search for a comment like this one
Agreed
This is a "Must Do!" Thanks for bringing it up.
Such would sort out the lag bolts threaded into the boat's structure as would having the brackets anodized, but it won't help where the stainless bolts are threaded directly into the aluminum. Not being well versed in marine tech I'm not sure what the common solution is to that. Were it not a marine application then changing to plated steel bolts is a significant move forwards because the plating is much closer to aluminum in the eV table. Perhaps it is as simple as using silicon-bronze hardware in those locations?

I recommend A4 stainless steel bolts in marine applications. Don't have to worry much about corrosion on the bolts.
Where it's threaded in to other materials you will eliminate corrosion by using locktite, but it has to be used correctly.
Going into a blind hold you apply locktite in the hole and it'll push out the threads when the bolt goes in.
If it's a through hole you apply it to the threads on the bolt.
I mainly work with marine applications, but in our case we coat everything as an added layer of protection
It's nice to see that Leo has just as much of the master carpentry chops as the rest of the crew. The skill level of this crew is really insane!! Great steps, Leo!
When I saw you had a sponsor I genuinely went “yes”! These are the only RUclips ads I watch, look forward to and enjoy!
I hope you get many more sponsors!!
You guys went so far on the door, you got me, I was thinking, was this to access a dingy, and how the hell would they seal it, and ruin the integrity of the hull, tells you how much I know about boat building. The jigs for the steps were genius, they look like a work of art, how you guys figure out all of the different angles, is beyond me., love these videos Leo.
I love watching every aspect of this build, but seeing the detail joinery holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for a great episode!
I am constantly in awe of the quality of the joinery. As Leo shows us, it is the result of careful planning, and making jigs so that joints are tight and repeatable.
Really nice attention to detail on the stairs… and those aluminum tank brackets are works of art. Very nice welds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Leo, I've been watching
Tally Ho being restored for years now and as always I'm so impressed at the level of craftsmanship, each and every joint being lovingly created is a sculpture in itself and like most great woodwork I would find it very hard not feeling the textures of the fine workmanship all of you have invested into this fine vessel,
The camera work and all the efforts you put into the creation of these videos are a great legacy to add to the story that is Tally Ho
Also over the years just how the videos have improved are a testament of your skills as well
I love how the stairs are turning out and yet again another fine example of the you possess and the love and attention you are putting into her,
Thank you again for sharing this build with me and I wish you trouble free completion for the remainder of the restoration.

Those stairs are something else - just gorgeous work Leo!
The level of craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
Awesome crew... in training as comedians...
That April fools joke was a classic. Hook line and sinker for thousands. .Well done
As an engineer and a boater, I laid awake a couple of nights wondering what the hell went south with you, Leo. Got me good! I used to lay awake at night trying to resolve design problems that were plaguing me; aerospace hardware has to be done right.
You got me good... Crimony! Love you man.
That was a gorgeous teak board. It's a real priviledge to be able to work with such beatiful timber, and you're doing it proud. Thanks to all for another fantastically entertaining and interesting video.
OMG at @13:55 the mood, the camera zooming in to build suspense. I was at the edge of my seat wondering if we were going to get another grain split-out. Leo fucking killing it with the video making, this is cinematic
It must be comforting for Leo to know that if it doesn’t work out with Tally Ho, he can simply walk into pretty much any engineering position at NASA. The guy’s incredible.
A clean shop is a safe shop! Your shop is always very clean! DD
Love the BB SEA…that beautiful staircase is a work of art!
I like the way Leo is fitting out the interior. He is keeping it basic and workman like. Only building what is necessary. A good example of function over form.
Can't beat a ridiculously strong joint!
Ohhh yes.
Rolling one now. *puff puff pass*
Lovely work guys! The transition on the step is a winner. Overview video? Yes, please!
The door will be used on the transom AKA the back door
By far the most creative Surfshark ad I‘ve seen to date 😂 Y‘all should be in ad consulting after the boat finishes!
Just wonderful craft and humour . Even Patrick's Aluminium .
Amazing skills and content. AND you've cured me of jumping ahead when the Sponsors testimonials are given. Really entertaining. If you and the crew ever tire of boat building, I see a bright future in advertising. Well done all!!
The April fools gag was great. You guys were the only channel I watch to have some fun with the day!
Try the Lockpicking Lawyer, he is hilarious!
I've watched you from the beginning and your commercials are becoming the best part of the show
That's a very cool transition between step and side rail. And, very nice to see Leo doing some carpentry too!
It's all looking very nice indeed, very nice :-)
Leo. The fuel filters can be a minefield when long term use is considered. A few years ago I came across a UK firm who produce 'Fuel Guard' filters. The advantage in my situation ( I have a narrow boat) is that the filters have a full clear sight bowl, water drain off at the bottom and can be taken apart to clean the super fine filter mash. I have two, one on the engine line and one on the diesel heater line and they have proved to be a great investment. Great video. I am always amazed at the precision of all the work. Excellent.
Your team has creative ideas and acting for the various spoofs and infomercials. A side career in advertising and artwork. A brief sampling of the detailed craftmanship in Tally Ho.
The attention to the smallest of details is as always fantastic and this yacht will have all of this to show off for many years to come. I loved the ditty that Patric and Neil did ... you lot have too much fun while working, keep up the fantastic work.
The joinery on the stairs is fantastic Leo, a work of art
I'm so relieved you've helped us feel safe and secure from these prying eyes, you guys are busting my gut. I've got a question for ya's how the hell do you manage to get any work done, while working with these boy's.? must be a challenge, that's for sure.. Did they really think! you were actually going to cut a hole in the bow of your boat? no way! ...that's hilarious.
Again, beautiful cabinetry on the stairs. They are a work of art!
Everything you do is excellent, this long retired Yankee boatbuilder is proud of you. Nice shop, BTW. As far as hand tools vs power tools, I apprenticed hand tools only, it was fun, but not feasible in this age.
When I came out of retirement to work on the criminally damaged Columbus Fleet in Corpus Christi Texas it wasn't as a period character: no money, no direction, no fucks given by so-called management, so we used power tools as needed. Visitors would call us out for that, my retort was that "the spanish would have used them if they had them", and walk away in grump about the whole thing because they never would be repaired, rot and Carpenter Bees turned them into sawdust.
Leo sporting the iconic Casio F-91W watch. Cool dude.
I stumbled across these videos while looking up something about woodworking earlier this year, and went back to watch it all from the beginning. What an incredible journey this has been to watch, often as I'm building my house or working on the little wooden sloop I hope to have restored in about two years. I think this series will turn out to be a great head start on my education once I'm a bit more finished with the house and can spend more time getting into boatbuilding, though it's definitely also given me some great ideas for the house too!
Leo, what a perfect job you did on that stairs. This shows craftmanship!
The precision in those companion way steps is as beautiful as the result. Loved that Leo.
This is the exact same reason why you don't have Square Windows on aircraft anymore. Good job Leo
... or screen doors on submarines. Thanks Nemo (Latin).
I'm so happy we're all on the same page
The workmanship is impressive. The materials are impressive. She's as fine a boat as any will see in those respects.
This series is a master class in: tireless leadership, drive and energy; passionate commitment to an ideal; and superior quality craftsmanship. It is a joy to behold Tally Ho being revitalized by the hands, hearts and minds of Leo and crew.
It must have been really satisfying to get back on the tools; especially with such an intricate, important and visible project. Well done!
Cant wait for the next episode of Dutchess of desire! Oh man, i haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
A master class on jig use. My wife and I make jigs for just about every project we build. If we know we will build it again we keep them.
As a Javanese I so love seeing old grown teak
As a casual home woodworker that knows nothing of boats, I learn something new every episode. I come into each episode with a blank mind, "Oh wow, I wonder what THAT is?"
That "front door" had me going for an embarrassingly long time :) I was literally muttering to myself, "Wtf? Luxury yachts have traditionally have doors cut into the hull?!" Well done, guys!
This is the only YT channel where I watch the sponsor ads - absolutely brilliant, hilarious and they add to the enjoyment of the video. Well done guys, keep up the good work.
Leo's imagination made real by his wood-worjing expertise is just brilliant. Thank you!!
Really enjoy the interaction of the guys working with you Leo. And I must mention you guys (and gal) are killing me with the Surfshark VPN videos. thanks
Been watching your channel from day one and I love the added levity and humor!
At last! 154 episodes and I am up to date.
Started watching this '2 (+2+2) year' project just a few months ago. Resisting the temptation to skip to the end, I have followed the ups and downs of Leo's amazing journey with great admiration.
His skills, resilience and determination are truly inspirational.
Love the banter, the adverts and the BBSea soaps.
I fell for the front door bit so hard. Well done!
some of the best quality wood working and working all around I've ever seen! please put some depth sensors on this beauty so it doesn't get wrecked running aground. excellent work guys!!! former navy veteran USA
I completely was furious about that front door, and why you cut hole in that place 😭😭😆
